Pretty interesting to see where it was felt so far... in Richmond at least.
Most people could feel something in central Richmond but nothing past 5 road....

it really depends on the ground you are standing on. at our office, those of us located near an atrium felt it, while the other sides near corners of the building felt nothing. then at our other office just next door in the metro/rogers towers up on the 19th floor, blinds were going over the place and they had to be evacuated for a bit.

It was a hit or a miss for my floor...I definitely felt the shaking but I'd say only half my building felt it.

I was on the 5th floor of a buiding near Canada Way and Willingdon, I felt my seat rocking for about 10 seconds; I figured it was an earthquake (b/c I've been through 3 other ones before), the guy in the next office beside mine runs out panicked, I just told him to relax, it was just an earthquake! He though he was going mental!  | |

Felt it at Coal Harbour area in downtown. Our company was having a staff lunch and then I felt it shook. At first, I thought I was dizzy or something, cuz I was shifting back and forth.
I guess the earthquake drills of learning how to hide under a table back in elementary school, sure didn't come into play. Everyone in my company kept eating and was like WTF, the floor shaking. LOL.

I remember learning this in Math 10 or something around that time:
For each unit that the Richter Scale goes up, the magnitude of the quake actually increases 10-fold. (7.0 quake's magnitude is 10x larger than a 6.0's.) It's a logarithmic scale with base 10. 10^(x), where x is the number on the Richter Scale.
Let's assume that the "Big One" will be an 8.5 on the Richter Scale. Today's quake was a 6.4(?). The difference in magnitude is 2.1.
(10^2.1) : 1 = ~126:1
That means that today's quake was 126 times smaller in magnitude than the "Big One" if it will be 8.5.
The magnitude, however, is only on the scale. Finding the relative amount of energy released requires raising our numbers to yet another power: (3/2) [Thank you, Google.]
The difference in magnitude was 2.1.
(10^2.1)^(3/2) = ~1,412
A quake of 8.5 would release 1,412 times more energy than that of today's quake. Who knows? Maybe the "Big One" will be a 9.5. In that case, the energy released will be 44,668 times more than today's quake.
I don't know about you, but I'm not too sold on the idea of this minuscule pressure relief being something for us to be relieved about. And for the record, I felt nothing in Richmond Centre. | |

Nothing to report from Bowen Island. My parents in Parksville told me about it but they too felt nothing.
I don't know the Lower Mainland well because I just moved here but it would be interesting to see a map of effected regions to track where it went. Even a map with dots from those on RS who did feel it would be interesting. A lot of you list locations but I have no idea where they are to get a sense of it.
